Ubisoft’s E3 Conference 2017 – My Highlights

Although the usual presenter was absent this year, Ubisoft’s e3 conference carried on regardless. I found it entertaining and felt Ubisoft did warrant its own conference simply because they had a decent catalogue of games to show off. This blog is to point out what were the highlights for me. Again, like most of the conferences, there were many sequels. I suppose if the franchise sells it is inevitable.

The Crew 2 and Assassins Creed Origins were the stand out announcements for me. They both looked beautiful, exciting and you could tell that a lot of effort has gone into these games. They actually look and feel like sequels, rather than just a yearly upgrade, if that makes sense.

Even though there were a lot of sequels, there were a couple of new IPs to whet our appetites. Highlights here included Ubisoft’s Mario cross Rabbids game, Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for Nintendo’s Switch.

Transference was their latest virtual reality game teased starring Elijah Wood. Not much else is known about this one yet, but it has me intrigued.

Skulls and Bones is another surprise. Ubisoft has taken the sailing parts of the Assassins Creed games and made it into a fully-fledged pirate game with depth. I’m not one for pirates, it’s just not my thing, but I’m sure many will dig it.
